Tour Highlights

Connemara is the Ireland of your dreams: lakes, mountains, pretty cottages, fast flowing streams and friendly people, a wild and wonderful place. The name Connemara was originally Conmaicnemara, or "the tribe of Cormac by the sea", given by the ancient Gaelic tribes.

Mayo, or as Tony Blair remarked on a recent holiday- "Magical Mayo!". Even among Irish people Mayo has become known for its rain washed pristine landscape. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the north and west and Galway on the south and south-east, it is a county to take time in.
